potty trained Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 It would seem that, any flag which doesn't carry a certificate proving it to be fire retardant, will not be allowed in the ground at the cup final. I believe this applies to larger flags, most commonly hung at the back of the stand or across seats etc. Now certificate? Well apparently the makers of larger flags stitch a small panel on the reverse, advising it has been coated with a fire proofing spray. Without this, or something similar, the flag will not be allowed into the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson Towers Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 I am so glad that this rule has been established: the flags that Thistle have been selling for the cup final DO NOT HAVE THE CERTIFICATE. I will safely dispose of this DEATH TRAP right now, using the appropriate safety-approved mechanisms. And to think, I was going to let my daughter take this potential death trap to the game...

That was rather unnecessary. He clearly stated large flags, obviously meaning the flags normally hung in the North Stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 This should also apply to items of personal clothing, of course, to avoid fatalities through spontaneous combustion in the heat of the action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 This should also apply to items of personal clothing, of course, to avoid fatalities through spontaneous combustion in the heat of the action. That's mainly why I insisted in getting a front row seat (Row AA), so as I'd be well and truly within the Splash Zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a very very good point...i mean imagine the flag caught fire when someone was having a crafty snout underneath it...that is if someone thought of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian_mac Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Guess that means we won't be taking the big PTFC stealth bomber flag then, as it's home made. Complete joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peagreenboy Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Oxygen is quite often a factor in fires. There's usually no atmosphere inside Almondvale, but just in case, every fan will have to be vacuum sealed before entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 This should also apply to items of personal clothing, of course, to avoid fatalities through spontaneous combustion in the heat of the action. Nowadays, I seem to spontaneously combust at some point during every Jags game I see. Do you think I should spray myself with fire retardant gloop immediately before the Ramsden's Cup final and stitch the requisite safety label onto my left earlobe? I'm only thinking of the people next to me that may be seared if I ignite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Will be plenty of knicker wetting to prevent any combustion of flags or emotional fans I fear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
